So after further investigating I believe it is an issue with overwatering that is causing the lack of growth. Going to let them dry out pretty good. I really wish I had filled the bottom of my pots with clay balls.

Day 18
Things seem to be looking ok. I found that my ph pen also needed to be calibrated, I think this was the root of my problem. Hopefully things pick up now. Im also having to put containers of water in my tent to keep the humidity up. Bumped the light back up to 1000 today and gave them a feeding of canna coco a+b and rhizo. EC 1.0 and ph at 5.9 Any how here are some pics for your viewing pleasure.

Day 34
Well they have grown since the last update but I burned the crap out of them an stunted them I believe. The joys of a whole new setup and nutes. Flushed them with a light nutrient solution changed out the res and dropped the ec. Switched out my mh to my super hortilux hps. I am also germing 2 more Think Different beans to go in some dwc buckets as it looks I will have extra room in my tent. I did do an experiment and running an air stone in the autopot res is no good when running canna coco nutes. Raises the ph drastically and funked up the solution. The ph holds well with out running an airstone. Im not sure exactly when they started showing pistils but by Day 20 they were all showing.

Thats a nice setup you have there man,,what kinda coverage do you get from that 1000watter? just lookn a your girls.... is it just my noob eye or do they look abit hot.... and also hungery for nutes...mainly nitrogen????? alot of pic's of plant problems are yellowing leaf tips so its hard to know what problem im looking at as a noob but i thought i would throw in my 
and you can always explain to me why im wrong....ive been reading alot of TD grows and they seem to be hungry animal's and seeming as your using autopots with air dome's there gona be suck'n it up man......anyway please feel free to correct man

Thanks Mr. Green! It's suppossed to cover a 6' x 6' area, this is my first run with it tho... They look yellow because those photos were taken under hps lighting. They do have yellow crispy burned edges, which I have been under the assumption that it was over fertilization. I also had some ph issues at first. Either that or my tent is toxic and giving off gasses. It does not seem like the usual Nitrogen deficiency Im used to. All tho Im not new to growing, Everything at the moment is new as far as auto's, the setup and nutes. Mixing coco with perlite is new as well, I normally run straight coco. I guess I was expecting all along to run into issues with this grow because of all the new crap. Everything I have read up on as well says they are heavy feeders but the burned edges showed up when I bumped their feed up to an ec of .9 with a steady ph of 5.9. I think it has all just been a domino effect starting with the early ph problem, stunting root growth and development. They are not using up the resivior as quickly as I thought they would. Also at this point I dunno if my air pump I have going to the domes is sufficient enough. All i know is they are half the size Hazy's were at this age, so I'm definetley doing something wrong. Meybe the coco is to saturated even with the perlite, wish I would have put clay balls in the bottom.
So I setup the dwc buckets, filled with water and nutes and threw the airstone in and what do you know the ph sky rockets. Set it to 6.0 yesterday and was at 7.1 today. The nutes consisted of Canna Aqua Vega, Rhizo and Zym. Any suggestions?
I have similar issues sometimes with the High O2 in the buckets keep on the monitoring it will stablize.
FD's guide to hefty auto's in the new growers forum might help you man...looks like he had a similer problem with ph...mabey you could pm him or somthing,but you should check that thread out man, sorry i dont no how to post a link man
Checked that crap again this morning and right back to 7.1. Think Im gonna just scrap the dwc for now until I have more time to spend with it.
